yes, i agree, it is weird.. the young man came to alcholics anonymous as a result of a court referral due to his getting arrested for attempting to sell magic mushroom to a police officer.

he has never tasted alcohol, yet somehow he came to figure out that he is actually an alcoholic by reading the big book of alcoholics anonymous.

others in the group that i had asked about this insisted that maybe the big book can help him.

the general mood in AA is that the big book can solve any problem that you have in your life.

no, the big book is designed with one primary purpose and that is to quit drinking and then to assist someone else to quit.
